Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit as expected
Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Consider the stretch fabric and tailored fit when selecting your size. If between sizes, the stretch fabric may offer some flexibility, but a tailored fit usually means sizing up for comfort.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to allow creases to fall out naturally. If necessary, steam the garment on a low setting, ensuring the steamer does not touch the fabric directly, or iron on a low heat as per care instructions.
Bow tie detail is uneven
Gently adjust the bow tie. If it remains uneven, it may require professional pressing or re-tying.
